[New-bugs-announce] [issue7283] test_site failure when Python gets installed along a symbolic link

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

On that buildbot, /var/lib/buildbot is a symlink to /home/buildbot and I
get the following failure:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_s_option (test.test_site.HelperFunctionsTests)
